Glass - retain liquid structure - rapid solidification from liquid state 18 Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimum crystal growth. Obsidian is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows, where the chemical composition (high silica content) induces a high viscosity and polymerization degree of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion through this highly viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth. Because of this lack of crystal structure, abcde obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness, leading to its ancient use as projectile points and blades, and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades.

Try tiling the plane with identical units … only certain symmetries are possible A tessellation or tiling of the plane is 26 a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. Symmetry axes compatible with periodicity According to the well-known theorems of crystallography, only certain symmetries are allowed: the symmetry of a square, rectangle, parallelogram, triangle or hexagon, but not others, such as pentagons. 27 Crystals can only exhibit certain symmetries Crystals can only exhibit these same rotational symmetries* ..and the symmetries determine many of their physical properties and applications * In 3D, there can be different rotational symmetries along different axes, but they are restricted to the same set (2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-fold) 28 Quasicrystals (Impossible Crystals) were first discovered in the laboratory by Daniel Shechtman, Ilan Blech, Denis Gratias and John Cahn in a beautiful study of an alloy of Al and Mn 29 D.

  • Materials Science
    Materials Science Materials Science is an interdisciplinary field combining physics (fundamental laws of nature), chemistry (interactions of atoms) and biology (how life interacts with materials) to elucidate the inherent properties of basic and complex systems. This includes optical (interaction with light), electrical (interaction with charge), magnetic and structural properties of everyday electronics, clothing and architecture. The Materials Science central dogma follows the sequence: Structure—Properties—Design—Performance. This involves relating the nanostructure of a material to its macroscale physical and chemical properties. By understanding and then changing the structure, material scientists can create custom materials with unique properties. The goal of the materials science minor is to create a cross-disciplinary approach to fundamental topics in basic and applied physical sciences. Students will gain experience and perspectives from the disciplines of chemistry, physics and biology. The minor places a strong emphasis on current nanoscale research methods in addition to the basics of electronic, optical and mechanical properties of materials. Any student with an interest in pursuing the cross-disciplinary minor in materials science should consult with the coordinator of the minor. Students are encouraged to declare their participation in their sophomore year but no later than the end of the junior year. Students also should seek an adviser from participating faculty.

The discovery of aperiodic crystals, a generic term including modulated, composite and quasicrystal structures, started in the 1970s with the discovery of incommensurately modulated structures and the presence of satellite reflections surrounding the main reflections in the diffraction patterns. The need to use additional integers to index such diffractograms was soon adopted and theoretical considerations showed that any crystal structure requiring more than three integers to index its diffraction pattern could be described as a periodic object in a higher dimensional space, i.e. superspace, with dimension equal to the number of required integers. The structure observed in physical space is thus a three-dimensional intersection of the structure described as periodic in superspace. Once the symmetry properties of aperiodic crystals were established, the superspace theory was soon adopted in order to describe numerous examples of incommensurate crystal structures from natural and synthetic organic and inorganic compounds even to proteins. Aperiodic crystals thus exhibit perfect atomic structures with long-range order, but without any three-dimensional translational symmetry.

Steinhardt3,4 Accepted: 16 October 2018 We report the discovery of Al Ni Fe , the frst natural known periodic crystalline approximant Published: xx xx xxxx 34 9 2 to decagonite (Al71Ni24Fe5), a natural quasicrystal composed of a periodic stack of planes with quasiperiodic atomic order and ten-fold symmetry. The new mineral has been approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA 2018-038) and ofcially named proxidecagonite, which derives from its identity to periodic approximant of decagonite. Both decagonite and proxidecagonite were found in fragments from the Khatyrka meteorite. Proxidecagonite is the frst natural quasicrystal approximant to be found in the Al-Ni-Fe system. Within this system, the decagonal quasicrystal phase has been reported to transform at ~940 °C to Al13(Fe,Ni)4, Al3(Fe,Ni)2 and the liquid phase, and between 800 and 850 °C to Al13(Fe,Ni)4, Al3(Fe,Ni) and Al3(Fe,Ni)2. The fact that proxidecagonite has not been observed in the laboratory before and formed in a meteorite exposed to high pressures and temperatures during impact-induced shocks suggests that it might be a thermodynamically stable compound at high pressure. The most prominent structural motifs are pseudo-pentagonal symmetry subunits, such as pentagonal bipyramids, that share edges and corners with trigonal bipyramids and which maximize shortest Ni–Al over Ni–Ni contacts. 1,2 Te frst decagonal quasicrystalline (QC) phase found in nature, decagonite Al71Ni24Fe5 , was discovered in the Khatyrka meteorite, a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite3–8.

Introduction: During a nanomineralogy investigation of the Khatyrka CV3 carbonaceous chondrite, we have identified two new alloy minerals (AlCu with a Pm-3m CsCl structure and Al3Fe with a C2/m structure) and associ- ated icosahedrite (quasicrystal Al63Cu26Fe11 with a five-fold symmetry) at micron scales in section 126A of USNM 7908. The section belongs to the larger Grain 126, which is one of the fragments recovered from an expedition to the Koryak Mountains in far eastern Russia in 2011 [1] as a result of a search for samples that would provide infor- mation on the origin of the quasicrystal mineral icosahedrite [2,3,4]. The recovered fragments have meteoritic (CV3- like) oxygen isotopic compositions and are identified collectively as coming from the Khatyrka meteorite [5], which formed 4.5 billion years ago during the earliest stages of the solar system. Khatyrka is unique, so far being the only meteorite to host metallic Al component. Field-emission scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer and electron back- scatter diffraction (EBSD), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) were used to characterize chemical composi- tions and structures of the minerals in section 126A.

  • Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology
    Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology Adapted from: Callister, W. D.; Rethwisch, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th ed.; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, NJ, 2010. McCrum, N. G.; Buckley, C. P.; Bucknall, C. B. Principles of Polymer Engineering, 2nd ed.; Oxford University Press: New York, NY, 1997. Brittle fracture: fracture that occurs by rapid crack formation and propagation through the material, without any appreciable deformation prior to failure. Crazing: a common response of plastics to an applied load, typically involving the formation of an opaque banded region within transparent plastic; at the microscale, the craze region is a collection of nanoscale, stress-induced voids and load-bearing fibrils within the material’s structure; craze regions commonly occur at or near a propagating crack in the material. Ductile fracture: a mode of material failure that is accompanied by extensive permanent deformation of the material. Ductility: a measure of a material’s ability to undergo appreciable permanent deformation before fracture; ductile materials (including many metals and plastics) typically display a greater amount of strain or total elongation before fracture compared to non-ductile materials (such as most ceramics). Elastic modulus: a measure of a material’s stiffness; quantified as a ratio of stress to strain prior to the yield point and reported in units of Pascals (Pa); for a material deformed in tension, this is referred to as a Young’s modulus. Engineering strain: the change in gauge length of a specimen in the direction of the applied load divided by its original gauge length; strain is typically unit-less and frequently reported as a percentage.

Abstract The unique CV-type meteorite Khatyrka is the only natural sample in which “quasicrystals” and associated crystalline Cu,Al-alloys, including khatyrkite and cupalite, have been found. They are suspected to have formed in the early Solar System. To better understand the origin of these ex- otic phases, and the relationship of Khatyrka to other CV chondrites, we have measured He and Ne in six individual, ~40-μm-sized olivine grains from Khatyrka. We find a cosmic-ray exposure age of about 2-4 Ma (if the meteoroid was <3 m in diameter, more if it was larger).
